Blending The Family with Tommy Maloney

# 59 Johnny Nomad Brings His Tribe to the Podcast

Johnny Nomad is a dad doing blending a family or in his words "tribes" the right way.

I had a sense that his story would serve many families and this episode will not disappoint you.

There was some "adult" language used so you have been warned.

Duke our family dog is getting older and he has this new issue of wanting to go out every few minutes. You will hear him wanting to go out several times. For that I apoligies.

From Johnny's bio:

Johnny was born in Brooklyn, New York. He grew up in a pretty bad neighborhood, His mother wouldn't let him out much she wanted to protect him so he watched a lot of TV.

His father wasn't around much. He left my mother when I was six years old.

My mother couldn't afford to pay for the apartment that we had so we had to move to projects which was hell. Wanting a sense of family, he began to watch this little TV show called the Cosby Show, Charles in charge, family matters and Saved by the bell.

The shows gave him a sense of community and family, it also taught him how to be the parent that he is today. It gave him a blue print to which would model his current parenting style after.

“I have been divorce since 2012 and will be marrying the woman of my dreams this coming March. Super excited, with this marriage we will be blending 9 kids.”
